Summary

In this video, Nathan Crankfield discusses the detrimental effects of comparing oneself to others, particularly in the age of social media. He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal growth by comparing growth to one’s past self rather than the “ideal”. Drawing insights from 12 Rules For Life (Jordan Peterson) and The Gap and the Gain (Dan Sullivan), he encourages listeners to focus on their progress and the gains they have made over time, fostering a healthier self-image and emotional well-being.
